Heard on the Pitch

Bolt and Fraser-Pryce Complete Jamaican Sweep

Usain Bolt didn't take his foot off the gas as he dipped over the finish line to complete a hat trick of gold medals at the track and field World Championships in Moscow Sunday. He anchored Jamaica in the 4x100 meter relay team of Nesta Carter, Kemar Bailey-Cole and Nickel Ashmeade, which clocked a time of 37.36 seconds. The U.S. was second, while Great Britain crossed the line third before being disqualified for an illegal handoff.

The victory meant that Bolt is now the most decorated World Championships athlete, with a tally of eight gold medals and two silvers. Only American sprinters Carl Lewis and Allyson Felix are close—they each have eight golds, one silver, and one bronze.

Jamaica's dominance didn't end there. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, who had already won the 100 meters and the 200, made it a sweep of the sprinting events by leading the team to gold in the women's 4x100 relay. The quartet—which included Carrie Russell, Kerron Stewart, and Schillonie Calvert—blazed home in a world championship record 41.29 seconds, ahead of the U.S. The women's sprint field was somewhat thinned by the absence of Jamaica's Veronica Campbell-Brown, who is serving a suspension after testing positive for a banned substance, and Felix, who tore her hamstring competing in the 200 meters.

Mourinho Comes Home, Settles Into Winning Ways

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho returned to Stamford Bridge Sunday to find a love-in for his first league game back in charge. And, with a 2-0 victory over Hull City, Mourinho immediately fell into old habits: Never losing at home.

During his first stint at Chelsea, from 2004 to September 2007, the club's record in 60 league games at Stamford Bridge was 46 wins, 14 draws and no defeats. That total, after a six-year break that took Mourinho to Inter Milan and Real Madrid, is now 47 wins. "I am at home again; I am where I want to be again," Mourinho wrote in his program notes. "I am, once again, in a club that is much more than my club—it is also a passion."

In Sunday's other Premier League game, last year's fifth-place finisher Tottenham Hotspur also got its campaign off to a winning start by beating newly promoted Crystal Palace 1-0.
